Clearwater Dentistry

Fantastic experience: I was in Clearwater on business and developed a major toothache. Called around to several dentist and no one could fit me in. Called Dr J’s office and his staff made a way to get me seen. End up having a tooth pulled with very little to no pain. Everyone in the office was amazing. I would highly recommend Clearwater Dentistry. If I lived locally they would be my primary dental care provider. Thanks so much for the great service.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend them to everyone

Fantastic experience: Outstanding. I high recommend. TV

Fantastic experience: Staff were very courteous and knowledgeable of the process. Made my visit very easy.

Fantastic experience: Got two teeth extracted by Dr.Kocan and didn’t feel a thing. Very welcoming and made me immediately feel comfortable. Best experience I’ve ever had at any dentist office.

Fantastic experience: Having some dental work done here for last few months. I can only say great things about Dr J and his staff. Just an added nod to the regular cleanings which are great as well! My hygienist is wonderful. Thanks to everyone at Clearwater Dentistry

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I have been petrified of dentists for 50 or so years and haven't been to one in such time. Unfortunately, nature has taken its course and I was in need. I needed a tooth pulled (or two). I was scared to death, literally shaking but Dr. Rivadeneria gave me medication to help me get through it. He even put a mask over my eyes so I wouldn't be so afraid of what I'm seeing going in and out of my mouth. I didn't feel a thing, and I'm not emotionally scarred over it at all! Dr. Rivadeneria was the very BEST and ALL of his staff were caring and attentive to my needs as well. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. I interviewed 2 other offices who were actually pretty harsh and uncaring. I feel so blessed to have come across Clearwater Dental they we're a lifesaver! I'll always be going to them, to get cleanings NOW and everything. They are a total game changer! I give them 10 out of 5 stars. GO, GO, GO!

Fantastic experience: Professional and expeditious. I was pleased with the level of service and expertise during my consultation at this office.

Negative experience: Dentist does not listen and talks the entire time to his staff. Also has unlicensed children working on your mouth.

Fantastic experience: Mikayla was really nice and I would definitely come back after the service.

Fantastic experience: Mikayla was great and such a cool person

Fantastic experience: The staffs are friendly and welcoming. Dr J is an excellent dentist. He is kind and caring. I highly recommend him for anyone's dental care needs. The professionalism and the clean, comfortable environment were appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful, friendly, office is clean and pleasant.

Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr. J were great!!

Fantastic experience: I broke a tooth on Sunday night, and couldn’t eat anything due to pain. Monday morning I called my regular dentist’s office, and they referred me to Clearwater Dentistry. Clearwater was able to see me that same morning. Dr J did a wonderful job extracting the fractured tooth and creating a temporary bridge. I was so relieved to have the problem dealt with so quickly and painlessly. I was able to eat soft foods that same day. I highly recommend Dr J and Clearwater Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: The office is super clean and comfortable. All staff was so friendly and thorough. They were able to accommodate me with an emergency same-day appointment. Dr. J was super compassionate, personable, and professional. He had me in and out of the dental chair in about an hour, pain free and quickly on my way to a full recovery. Best dental experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many in my lifetime. I highly recommend this practice!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for your personable and professional care today! We really appreciated the time you took explaining all aspects of our upcoming dental procedures. We’ve already told a friend about your office! Susan Sindelar Scott Sindelar

Fantastic experience: Great place I highly recommend. The X-ray lady was very nice and thoughtful. So are the front desk ladies very professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Very nice staff, had a great cleaning and exam.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Talented dentist with great knowledge and personality

Fantastic experience: When i first entered Clearwater Dentistry i was cautious, they got in comm with me and i felt more relaxed, the most important thing a customer needs is to know that someone cares about them. They did that and some.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in, the ladies at the front desk were welcoming and kind, which set a great tone for the visit. The dental assistant, Brittany, was also very pleasant and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Dr. J was excellent—he took his time, was gentle, and didn’t make me feel rushed or pressured into anything. I really appreciated that he clearly explained what my dental needs were and laid out a straightforward plan to help get my teeth healthy. Overall, a great experience from start to finish! --- Would you like a shorter version too for something like Google Reviews or Yelp?

Fantastic experience: Excellent, informative, professional and very courteous. Clearwater Dentistry is consistently awesome! Bottom line, they’re great…the best dental office I have ever been to!

Fantastic experience: They are kind, professional and efficient here. I feel totally taken care of and comfortable at my appointment and my family did too! They are amazing!!!

Fantastic experience: Overall, I had a great experience with Clearwater Dentistry. I had a filling break off and I was able to schedule an appointment on an emergent listing to avoid “let’s take full expats and do a teeth cleaning” before addressing the issue which is what a lot of dentists do. The appointment scheduling was efficient as was the electronic delivery of consent forms to save time upon arrival to the office. The exam was focused on the issue and prognosis and treatment plan was to that end and I was able to move forward with treatment immediately that day. Which was great. The procedure, while like all dental procedures, was not a lot of fun, but I found it to be very professional and efficient. Starting with the application of novocaine, which was done in a way that very little pain was felt for the needle stick. It was also made clear, that if I felt any pain or discomfort, I could request a break and more pain management. The remaining procedure was done expertly to my satisfaction. Overall, a great experience so far.

Fantastic experience: Love this office! Have been with them for 4 years and they are always great.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my experience at this office! My exams and cleaning were very thorough and comfortable. I got my first crown ever and I was nervous. But the dental team and Dr. Jose were so wonderful! I didn’t feel anything during the entire procedure. I feel confident that I will continue to get the best care and referrals for my teeth!

Fantastic experience: My whole life my Mom was my dental hygienist and she just retired so I was extremely nervous to go to a new dentist. Clearwater Dentistry over exceeded my expectations. Erin, Dr. J and Cindy were amazing! Super nice and friendly and they made me feel like I was going to family again! Amazing people! I don't have insurance but the price was great! I'm going to get insurance tomorrow so I can be a regular patient at Clearwater Dentisty!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, and the office itself was clean, modern, and calming. My dentist Dr.J! was incredible — gentle, thorough, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I truly felt like my comfort and care were a top priority. Whether you’re someone who dreads dental visits like I did or just wants top-notch care, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing I found them on google and took a shot and they were above my expectations Stacy and Cindy at the front desk are super helpful and Dr Rivadeneira is fast and amazing never had such a good dentist before definitely going to continue coming here they had me in out and in no time no hassle at all

Fantastic experience: Everyone was great and the dentist was excellent. I will be going back and referring the people I know.

Fantastic experience: I am an absolute coward when it çomes to dentistry. Would rather have major surgery. However, when push came to shove, I was very fortunate in my choice of dentists He listened to me understood my fears, was very gentle and told me each step along the way so there were no sudden surprises. I gladly give high recommendations to Dr. E at Clearwater Dentistry. Audrey F. (Not afraid to go back either!!)

Fantastic experience: The receptionists were very friendly very informative so was the dentist and his assistant Dr J was Very nice we talked for a little made me feel like I was a friend more like hen his patient

Fantastic experience: This was my second time going here and I'm very pleased with the work and the price was very reasonable I must say. I was referred to Clearwater Dentistry from a friend that had a lot of work done. I will refer them to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Went to Coast Dental initially and it was far from a pleasant experience in just about every conceivable way so the Mrs recommended Clearwater Dentistry and it was a night and day difference. The staff was warm and patient and genuinely cared about why I was there and although they mostly confirmed what Coast Dental stated they went into a lot more depth and made sure I and my wife understood everything going on and answered all of my questions and came up with a very detailed treatment plan with several options. A cleaning from Coast Dental was around $800 but at Clearwater Dentistry the same type was $90. Huge difference and although I wasn't happy about the reason I was there (8 broken teeth) I was happy with the outcome and the plan they put in place for me to get all of this taken care of. I've always had a large fear of the dentist but Clearwater Dentistry put those fears to rest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND over any other dentists I've ever been too and the Dr was very patient and concerned for my health and made recommendations based off of that. They actually treated me more like a family member than a new patient.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist! Had an emergency day after Memorial Day, and they were the only ones open in my area. Glad I came here!

Fantastic experience: Had a great first experience as a new patient, they told me the issues I had with my teeth and the necessary treatment by priority. And the ladies at the front counter are the sweetest and welcoming gals

Fantastic experience: All staff was very friendly and Dr was very informative. Very comfortable and good feeling about the care I received.

Fantastic experience: Always great experience. I never wait and everybody is friendly and professional

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using them since I moved to the Clearwater area for over 4 years! I’ve always had a pleasant experience. Their team is so friendly and nice! They do a great job explaining everything. The office is so clean and nice and has lots of windows so it doesn’t feel enclosed.

Fantastic experience: Well Mannered staff. excellent service. experienced

Fantastic experience: Great dentist experience. The front desk, dental hygienist, and dentist were all 10/10. Very kind and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Another amazing experience! I cracked my molar the prior night and was able to get emergency appointment at the Clearwater office the next day. They got me handled, temporary crown and an appointment with their recommended orthodontist for a root canal the same day! I was also able to schedule permanent crown the following week. This was huge for me as I travel on flight to CA just a few days from now and I’ll be fine for the flight. Can’t thank this group enough. Thanks for making my day oh so much more enjoyable.

I wouldn't change this place anytime as long as they take my insurance.Thank you Clearwater Dentistry team! I am with them for 5 years, and just happy, I wouldn't change them for anything!

Fantastic experience: This was my first visit. I have very high anxiety level and low trust level re dentists. Reception/office was welcoming. Dr. explained well what was needed. Temporary fix was reasonable. Left with detail treatment plan and cost. Experience was MUCH better than prior dentists. So far so good

Fantastic experience: The staff and dr.'s are all friendly and helpful. Job well done.

Negative experience: Overcharged me $1800 after my insurance ran out for crowns that broke and teeth that were all rotten and gums that hurt so bad i still cant eat at 95 pounds, then expected me to pay more money for their mistakes. They expected me to pay the $1800 when I refused they would not treat me knowing I was in agony and was crying. They don't care about people only money. Don't go there even if u can't find a dentist this place is a ripoff I would have left zero stars if I could

Fantastic experience: This place is great! Everyone is so nice and welcoming! Went in for my first visit and also received cleaning and treatment. The front desk, the hygienists, and dentist made for a very comfortable and easy experience!

Fantastic experience: Cindy is the best, she is understanding and compassionate about the patients needs. Great people and nice atmosphere. Doctor “J” is very kind and helpful with your needs.

Fantastic experience: Dr. J is the best doctor, very professional, I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. J and his staff. He was very patient, helpful and kind and always available to help. I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. He took a lot of time to explain the procedure and made sure that she understood my concerns. Thank you for all Dr. J!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place loved the service I was provided & everyone was soooo nice & helpful & understanding I definitely found a dentist that is affordable & outstanding!!

Negative experience: Affordable, but you get what you pay for. I was told my insurance covered my services only to get a bill from them a month later. When I called them the Office Mgr. was rude telling me it was my responsibility requardless what I was told at the time of service. When i requested to speak to someone else, she said there was no one else to speak to. She seemed overworked, flustered and ready to retire. Also, be informed, the front area smells of heavy perfumes. The doctor and the other staff members were nice and people friendly. I would not recommend this place or go back.

Fantastic experience: My first visit with Clearwater Dentistry was wonderful. The staff was kind and made me feel at ease. Dr. Cole was great and I am comfortable with continuing my dental care with her. On Christmas Eve, I experienced some dental issues which prompted me to find a dentist asap. A few days after Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised they were able to schedule an appointment for me the day after my call. During my initial exam, she discovered I had a fractured tooth which was the cause of my issue. She explained my options and made me feel I was in control of deciding which option I am most comfortable with. The cost of treatment was reasonable and less than I originally anticipated. I am grateful to have established myself as a patient and have no reservations in moving forward with Clearwater Dentistry for my future dental care. I have already referred a co-worker to them and am confident she will be just as happy with them as I am.
